A Mother's Day spa getaway could be just what the doctor ordered. Each spa is an oasis of calm and tranquility in its own right, a world in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the vibrant city beyond its walls. For the weekend of May 7-9, let mom know that worries of any kind are to stay behind at home. No matter where you're traveling to, the spas housed in the hotels highlighted below make perfect places to relax, replenish and rejuvenate on Mother's Day weekend. We also touch upon on-site fitness centers where mom can squeeze in time for a workout.

1. New York City - Affinia Dumont: If mom is a serious fitness enthusiast, she'll feel right at home in this luxurious Midtown East property. A Fitness Suite Hotel, Affinia Dumont boasts 241 spacious suites, each complete with fitness-related amenities, and a VIP Fitness Suite that has its own private exercise studio with steam room. If mom needs advice on staying fit, she can get great tips from the onsite fitness concierge, who provides body assessments and body-mass-index-measurements free of charge. Guests can enjoy complimentary Experience Kits, which come in three types (Walking Tour, StayFit and BYOB), are delivered in baskets, and, depending on the Kit received, include goodies ranging from iPod Shuffles and towels to picnic blankets. The second floor is home to Oasis Day Spa, where a relaxing massage, facial, manicure or pedicure sets the tone for a stress-melting weekend in the Big Apple. The spa offers a number of options to suit your budget and mom's preferences, including its Total Body Wellness Deluxe and Total Body Wellness packages.

2. Los Angeles - Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard: Perched at the intersection of Brentwood and Bel Air, this chic boutique hotel's spa offers a wide array of treatments designed to refresh and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. Mom can do away with those painful knots by indulging in a Be Well Massage or detoxify the face with a soothing Be Well Facial. Many of these revitalizing treatments can be enjoyed right by the swimming pool. Also located in the Spa Level building is the hotel's well equipped fitness center, where mom can take advantage of treadmills and exercise bikes to maintain her fitness routine. If you're bringing a big group along, the Luxe Spa can organize a customized Spa Party that comprises skin and body treatments, catering and much more. How's that for a stress-free Mother's Day celebration?

3. San Francisco - Westin St. Francis: If you're planning on spending Mother's Day weekend in the City by the Bay, The St. Francis Renewal and WestinWORKOUT at the historic Westin St. Francis offers a refreshing alternative to the standard downtown San Francisco day spa experience. Mom can choose from a range of massage therapies, body treatments, skincare services and nail services. Additionally, WestinWORKOUT features a bevy of treadmills, stairmasters and steam rooms to melt all of mom's concerns away. If the kids will be tagging along, be advised that guests must be at least 16 years of age to utilize spa services and facilities.
